Dreambeach Festival Villaricos 2017

2017 is the 5th anniversary of the Dreambeach Electro, Techno, Dance festival at Villaricos. It runs from August 10th until 15th.Dreambeach line up 2017

I must admit the only people I’ve heard of are Chase and Status and that’s only because I’ve seen them plastered all over the London tube a couple of years ago.  But hey it’s for people a lot younger than me, a bit like when my parents couldn’t understand why I sat in a field all weekend listening to people who needed a damn good haircut, happy days!

When we first moved here the festival was part of the Creamfields group and did use to feature some more mainstream acts, even The Pet Shop Boys played one year. Other acts included The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, Goldfrapp,Fatboy Slim, Massive Attack, Groove Armada and Basement Jaxx who I’m familiar with but wouldn’t go and see.

Four days of music on 4 stages will be enjoyed by over 100,000 people with the campsite holding around 30,000. The first sign that something is happening is when the average age of people in the supermarkets plummet as the sales of booze rises. We then realise there is a bass pounding in the distance at bedtime and that it is still there when we wake, great stamina these kids.

It normally passes without incident and we hope they all have a great time.

AQUAVERA, Water Park

AQUAVERA, Water Park opens May 20th.

Waterpark opening soon Vera Almeria Spain

AquaVera offers safe fun for everyone, both young and old, perfect for a day of water and sun, with family or friends.  The Kamikaze is for the most intrepid and brave who wish to experience the sensation of a fall into the void or the Aquodrome, to make quick races with family and friends.  The star attraction is the Black Hole where you slide down in darkness. The fun Zig Zag slides, twists and turns on two slides that crisscross and descend quickly. If you want something gentler try the Aventura River, in company or alone, a great channel that descends gently in the sunlight. You can relax in the Lake pool or at the wave pool.

Aqualandia, is for the little ones where new for this year is tree adventure, an interesting tree house with walkways, Tibetan bridge, sliding bar, slides … an endless series of adventures under the shade of the pines. Aqua Vera has plenty of places to relax where you can enjoy your own food, but they also offer something for most tastes as well as drinks and of course Ice Creams, it’s not a holiday without an Ice Cream!
